  • Works for the most part, but not easy to configure for multi machine use

    The app is decent in terms of features, but needs lots of development on the confuguration side if you want to use multple mahcines across a network. The old addage, it just works, is not sture unfortunatly. Difficult to se up, obtuse intrctions makes it frustraing and prone to lots of trial an errors. Speaking of errors, the error messages are not helpful at all, providing no solution to what causes the issue.

    Doesn't get any better than this. Seen folks reporting bugs in their reviews but i have never seen one that wasn't caused by some external issue going back to version 1.

    Apple faces a proposed class action lawsuit that claims the tech giant “shortchanges” iCloud subscribers by providing five gigabytes (GB) less than the promised cloud storage capacity. Apple faces a proposed class action lawsuit that alleges the tech giant misleads consumers into believing that their personal data is not being tracked. The proposed class action detailed on this page was dismissed with prejudice on August 29, 2023 by U.S. Judge Jed S. Rakoff, who found that the plaintiff’s claims were, on the whole, too vague to survive. Apple has been hit with a proposed class action lawsuit that alleges the company has failed to adequately inform consumers that the new 12- through 14-series iPhones do not come with chargers. Apple faces a proposed class action that alleges the company’s AirTags have “revolutionized the scope, breadth, and ease of location-based stalking.”

    Apple fix this. It is currently not working. It freezes/stalls every time i try to export from final cut to Compressor. This app is currently now just a brick and a waste of space.
  • Broke on macOS 13.5 update

    Ever since updating macOS to 13.5, the app opens to an empty table, so I choose "Reset to Default Layout", at which point things look normal, but as soon as I click the Active or Completed tab, the app crashes. Update: It started working on its own after a few days on my 2017 iMac, and I was able to get it working on my 2023 MacBook by deleting the app and its associated files in ~/Library/Application Support and ~/Library/Preferences, then reinstalling. Also Apple reached out to figure out the problem, so kudos to them.
  • Please Add FLAC Support

    By ZippityZapp
    This does almost everything I need execpt for the ability to export an H.264 video with FLAC audio. I make music videos for YouTube and they specify using FLAC but it's not possible as far as I can tell. I have tired using FFMPEG to swap the audio but I lose metadata with that method. Dear Apple Devs, please add this feature! I will put you on my Christmas card list and send you some home made cookies with a hand written thank you card! :)
  • Works Fine

    Compressor is nothing fancy, but I transcode tons of video on a daily basis, and it meets my requirements. It is missing some of what I would consider basic encoder settings, but for the most part it does the job excellently. Only downside is that it is slightly slower than Adobe Media Encoder.
